ELT meaning = Extract, Load, Transform. It’s the modern way to handle data, especially with cloud tech.
Why? Because you load *everything* first (yes, even messy data), then transform it inside the warehouse. Saves time upfront.
Example: Dumping all your Shopify orders into Snowflake, then running SQL to clean it later.
PS—Look into dbt for transforming after loading.
